I was serious about the gofundme. Just figured our pinside friend got scammed at least his friends could each offer up a few bucks we could make him whole. What the heck, there's a multimillionaire on pinside taking in thousands a month in income from his arcade and he came right out and asked for donations...and people gave...hundred dollar bills at a whack!

Sorry friend, I went to the PHOF earlier this year for the first time, anticipating to donate $100. I left there very disappointed and did not donate. Every one of the games I played were in need of maintenance. And some if the games I wanted to play were just plain turned off and out of service. Why expand to a bigger building just to add more broken pinball machines? It's nice Tim donates to a worthy cause, but in my opinion, the donations should come AFTER the proper maintenance has been performed on the games. I made my donation directly to the Salvation Army upon return home.

Yes. Vegas. I've seen the posting on the "closing of the PHOF". Some people like it, some don't. I'm just saying I was disappointed because I anticipated playing the games listed in the Gottlieb collection...and when I got there they were a mess or totally unplayable. Anyway, my posting was about donating money to (I'm assuming) a non-millionaire who isn't taking in thousands a month in revenue. I'll donate to bicyclenut and he can use the money for a replacement backglass or whatever. Gofundme or PM me with your address and I'll send a check. And thanks for alerting the pinball community of a scammer.

I don't think the police will do anything. I recall a few years ago my neighbor had their car stolen (fairly new Mercedes) and they even witnessed the thief getting in the car and driving away. Two weeks later the car was recovered, dirty, having scratched up paint and broken mirrors. Cleaning up the car the owner found a driver's license under the floor mat....the driver's license of the thief! They brought that to the police department attention, but nothing ever came of it. I guess the DA or whoever didn't care to prosecute. If the police don't care to arrest a thief for stealing a car worth thousands, why would they do anything about a backglass? I hope the OP has friends that can stake out the thief and offer up some well deserved punishment.

So true. You want justice in this case, unfortunately you would have to take the law into your own hands.

Guess that's why the trunk monkey was invented...gitcha one.

I believe it's going to Timbuktu, Washington.
